Combined Cycle Power Plant Simulator Operation Course Overview This 10-day course provides participants with a practical understanding and appreciation of how combined cycle power plants are operated. Participants learn hands-on using our state-of-the-art power plant simulator throughout the course. This course is effective, interactive, lively and is “a must” for anyone who wants to learn about combined cycle power plant operation. What You Will Learn In This Course Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

Identify the major components of a typical combined cycle power plant, describe their functions and explain their principles of operation and startup requirements.

Describe and perform the correct steps and sequence to start a power plant from cold condition, beginning with lining up and starting the various plant auxiliary systems such as cooling water system, condensate system, feedwater system and auxiliary steam system.

Prepare, startup and synchronize a gas turbine.

Perform the correct steps and sequence to line up and heat up a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG).

Start up a steam turbine from cold condition.

Load a combined cycle unit up to baseload condition.

Who Should Attend The course is also suitable for engineers, managers, graduates, operators, maintenance staff and other personnel who need to understand the operational practices and requirements of combined cycle power plants. This course is ideal for preparing field operators to take on new responsibilities as control room operators. Generation dispatchers and regulators will also benefit from the course. Course Duration 10 days
